What news, what news, in this our tottering state?

According to today's news on the BBC's internets, the BBC has taken my suggestion that they make more Hollow Crowns, and they are going to make Henry VI Part One, Henry VI Part Two, Henry VI Part Three and Richard III. The BBC says

the team behind The Hollow Crown will reunite to create filmed versions of Shakespeare's Henry VI and Richard III plays.

It remains to be seen if they will also take my advice and cast Paul Darrow and Gareth Thomas as Gloucester and Winchester or Sean Bean as Talbot. Whoever they cast as Talbot will have a hard time being as good at playing him as Trevor Peacock was when he played Talbot the last time the BBC made Henry VI Part One.

I am a happy cat because the first series of Hollow Crown was great so I am looking forward to seeing the next one!
